Squats & the Crusher

August 6, 2012
Noonish

This week's going to be a bit of a deload. As per Phil's directions I'll hit a few singles and no assistance. I also bumped up my repping weight on the 2" Crusher substantially to stay away from those 25-30 rep sets and get back down to working 10-20 again. I also hit 2 sets this time to give myself a bit more time under tension. I may do 3 sets in the future but we'll see how she goes. My right definitely dominates the 155# with a significant hold at the top. I'm also thinking of throwing some sledge levering back into the routine.

1a) Back Squat
2-3 good long stretches to work at getting the bar into proper position. I've done this for the last month or so and it makes a huge difference. I'll just grab the bar with my squatting grip and relax forward as much as possible. When I'm done I could put the bar probably 6" lower and at least a few inches back from where I normally rack it on my back.
